Have you ever met Such Accident????
Last evening I was Engaged in various tasks, I received an urgent call from an animal owner seeking veterinary treatment. With my schedule occupied, I delegated the responsibility to my assistant. What transpired on his journey, however, took an unexpected turn.
Navigating a narrow road alongside a canal tributary, my assistant encountered a group of school kids returning home. In the midst of their exuberance, some playfully thumped the vehicle. Taking a proactive approach, my assistant slowed down, urging the children to proceed safely. A seemingly innocuous incident took an unforeseen twist when, upon the kids' return home, their parents began inquiring about the events that transpired.
The situation escalated dramatically when it was misconstrued that a Doctor's vehicle had caused harm to one of the children. The uncle of the young boy alleged severe injuries, including bleeding and difficulty breathing. Amidst the chaos, I appealed for patience, urging them to prioritize immediate medical attention for the child. Upon thorough examination at the hospital, it became apparent that the child was unharmed. The incident, it seemed, was artificially created to undermine me.
Now I do believe there is a life lesson for all of us to absorb, together...
Because the task of each human is to turn the pain , tragedy into triumph and defeat into winning...
I know that sounds obvious yet those who make their lives beautiful, joyful and great really do make it a practice of seeing windows of opportunity where most spot walls of adversity.
I’ve been through a lot in my life. Been bruised and bloodied, disappointed and dejected. Yet, I’ve always done my best to keep moving forward. And to seek the blessing inside the curse, if you get my drift.
And once you start operating like this (with the consistency that is the mother of mastery), failure becomes a friend. And a circumstance that introduces you to your gifts, strengths and most high of qualities.
..we become strong through dealing with setbacks.
…we become powerful by sitting with our pain.
…we become wise in the understanding of our errors.
…we become loving by embracing our suffering.
Makes me think of the precious words of the celebrated poet Mirza Ghalib:
"दर्द से मेरा दामन भर दे, या आल्लाह!
फिर खुद को मुझ से जुदा ना कर दे।"
Means
"Fill my robe with pain, O God!
But then, do not separate yourself from me."
We’ve all heard of the term “post-traumatic stress.” Yet I am far more fascinated by the phenomenon of post-traumatic growth: the instance where a human being actually leverages a setback in service of greater mental, emotional and spiritual strength. This is when heroes are made.
Anyway, I’ve taken up much of your time. Thank you for the attention.
I do hope my story have conveyed this some message
"Difficulty do not arrive for our failure but to promote our good fortune. And perhaps, our job is a straightforward one: to gain the growth amid the darkness"
Stand strong. Honor your talent. Keep moving forward.
Love and regard
